Pakistani lawyer and activist Jibran Nasir reportedly abducted.

Prominent Pakistani lawyer and rights activist Jibran Nasir has been abducted by unidentified men in Karachi, according to his wife. Nasir, who has previously contested national assembly elections from the city, is known for his vocal opposition to rights violations. The abduction comes amid a crackdown on former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, with thousands of people arrested for violence following Khan’s arrest on corruption charges. The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan has demanded Nasir’s safe return and for his abductors to be held accountable under the law.
